Tickets for Van Gogh Museum

In personal development, growth rarely happens in a linear fashion, but through reframing and learning from challenges and setbacks. If ever there was an artist who was able to reframe his world, again and again through strife and pain, it was Vincent van Gogh. Now, an exciting new exhibition compiled by four young Amsterdammers takes up the legacy of Vincent's visionary creativity, and reframes his art and letters in a contemporary context, providing fresh perspectives on Van Gogh's timeless work.

One focuses on growth through mental disorders, while another highlights Van Gogh’s perseverance which remained steadfast in the face of many setbacks and tragedies. One identifies with Van Gogh’s search for a style of his own, and another recognizes the peace he found in nature. Erratic Growth will show how all of these deeply human themes are as relevant today as they were in Vincent's time.

Over the last ten years, the Van Gogh Museum has been working hard procuring new works for its permanent collection. Here to Stay presents four new works from the turn of the last century.

The exhibition presents paintings by a number of prominent artists from the late 19th century, including Edvard Munch’s portrait of Felix Auerbach (1906), Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s La clownesse au Moulin rouge (1897), Félix Vallotton’s Laziness (1896), and Van Gogh’s Pollard Willow (1882).

Alongside each piece, you can expect to find the artwork’s story – from the artist that shaped it, to the curators and art restorers who gave it new life in the public eye.
